U.S. Army Lt. Col. Sean Richardson, left, incoming commander of 3rd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, passes the battalion colors back to Command Sgt. Maj. Steven Reid, center, senior enlisted advisor of 3rd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, during the battalion’s change of command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. The passing of the colors symbolizes the transfer of authority, responsibility, and trust from one leader to the next. The 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade’s Transformation of Command ceremony marks a pivotal restructuring as leaders transition across the formation. The deactivation of 3‑6 Air Cavalry Squadron and 2‑501st General Support Aviation Battalion underscores the brigade’s continued commitment to the Army Structure (ARSTRUC) initiative and the strength of today’s Iron Eagles.
